HELP ME!

Ok, I am so dang technilogically challenged!!! I tried to put all of our new pics on my computer after buying the CD full of photos. I loaded them onto my puter, but they wouldn't load onto blogspot?!! Plan B.

We recently had a photo shoot in a field of sunflowers. And when I tell you we took over 400 photos in 13 minutes... I am shooting straight!! It was the last appointment of the day (6:00 pm), and I chose that time because I thought the evening light would be prettier than the glaring sun of the day. Who knew in this drought-ridden state of ours that a rainstorm would be coming in around 6:45?! And I was late arriving by about 10 minutes. Sooooo... I am pretty fired up that we hit the jackpot with some great poses and smiles!

Here's how you can help me!I need to start designing Gabbi Girl's bday party invitations. Remember, I am not going to do elaborate invitations... not again! Maybe next year will be her turn for "fancy"! Soooo, I made a cardboard #3 and added funky fabric dots to match her dress. I asked the photographer to make sure she took those pics first so we'd have something to use for our invites! The first 10 or so photos are the ones I need you to "vote" on . Ok, so here's the link since I couldn't get them to load onto my blog?! JessssiiiiiiI!!!!!

Go to focusphotographyteam.com and punch proofing at the top. Then go down to Melanie G. Open er up and help a sister out. Which Gabbi Girl pic is the best to represent her at this age. I think I have my favorite too, but I just need a second, third, .... opinion. And while you're there, tell me which pics you think I MUST blow up for my house. I will probably do about 4-5.

LOVE!!! Ok, so for GG's invites I think 3 and 10 are awesome, so is 13. I love the straight on smile in 6, but the 3 is not as clear for the invites.

Other ones I love?.... 22 and 34 in the chairs! 30 - that sweet kiss. Also 48, 56, 61, and 63... and pretty much all of them. Thanks so much for sharing!!

Mo, I've thought of you often this week, because you've mentioned the heat you all prepare for each spring. This past week in Boston it has been creeping past 100 with the heat index and I'M HATING IT! I climb into my car and think "How does Melanie do this all summer?!"

Sweet,adorable pics!! I like number 2 or 13 for Gabbi if you want the "3" in the pic, but 63 is beautiful of her!! I love 29 and 30 for your house (where Ellie is turning around and kissing Gabbi). Your girl cooperate wonderfully for the camera :)

I think all the pictures are adorable so it is so hard to choose.....Hmmm i've looked thru them a few times and then had my 9 year old daughter come and look and I think we both agree that 3,5 and 7 are our favorites! By the way my 9 year old is just in love with the girls from looking thru the pics...She even said "Mom I don't think she's gonna be 3, it's gotta be a mistake cause she looks to happy and sweet to be a 3 year old" "3 year olds are supposed to be terrible ya know" LOL The things she says some times crack me up!

I love 5, 6, and 11 for the invitation. I love 5 and 6 just because they are so cute of her, but 11 is just super sweet and my style of photography with her picking flowers. It is just so natural...super cute! No matter what, you can't go wrong. They are all so cute!

#1 is gorgeous, as is #11, but for invitations, the smiley, lovin-life Gabbi needs to be present! :)My vote would be #10 or #2Her angelic smile melts my heart in #3, 6, and 9.Love the back-to-back chairs of the girls, Ellie kissing Gabbi, (adorable bathtub prop), OH...#63!!!, 68 makes me lol, and of course the ones of all 3 of you girls!How in the world will you choose??!

I like #3 for Gabbi! She looks like she's so proud to be turning 3!!! (also like 4,6 & 7)I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the bathtub!!!! That is so cute! Definately like #22 and #29 for the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

Wow - I love them all! For the invites, my faves are #2 and #13. For blow-ups, my VERY fave is #40 and I also extra loved 28, 29, 36, 37, 50, 56, 64, 74 and 78. Good luck choosing! (I'm dreading doing and choosing senior pics this year. Wanna come to Dallas and do a shoot for me???)

OH MY WORD!! I know I'm a little late, but I didn't see these over the weekend! So, here is my two cents worth...

3 or 5 for invitations! 22 or 29 blow up of both girlies...38 is my favorite in the bath tub...50 or 52 are my favs of Ellie...59 or 60 are my favs of Gabbi...LOVE 68 Gabbi!! and 76 or 78 my picks for all 3 of you! They are amazing pictures Melanie!! Good luck picking your favorites. You couldn't possibly go wrong!

I love #2 of GG for the invitation. That sweet, excited smile is for sure her true self! I also love #s 22, 28, 29, 30 for blow ups. Love #50 of E by herself, and #63 of Gabbi. I just love ALL of them!!! They are fantastic pictures!
